One Spurs fan has come up with a brilliant response to the delayed flight that caused some Tottenham fans to miss the opening minutes of the Champions League final against Liverpool.

The flight was originally due to land at Madrid's Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport on Saturday afternoon, but a six-and-a-half hour delay saw the hundreds of Spurs fans in a race against time to make it through passport control and to Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Flight operator Thomas Cook Confirmed to football.london at the time that the flight had been delayed due to a bird strike.

"One of our six chartered aircraft taking Tottenham Hotspur supporters to Madrid suffered a bird strike on its way to Stansted Airport and was deemed not safe to operate," A spokesperson said.

"We have sourced an alternative aircraft to take the remaining fans to the match in time.

"The other five aircraft with supporters on have all landed in Madrid."

Fans also found themselves stranded in the Spanish capital for hours on end after the match following the cancellation of a return flight.

Now, a Spurs fan has used American president Donald Trump's state visit to Great Britain as a stick to beat the company with.

"President Trump about to touch down on schedule at Stansted. Apparently he's not flying with @Thomascooksport," he tweeted.

Fans are annoyed at the airline after the compensation offered for the delays was just a £10 voucher and a glass of water. The airline's use of the hashtag "say you were there" is also being taken over by Tottenham fans unhappy with the service.
